The ribbon was cancer ten years ago and its cancer now.
Jack Sanders
2007 is the best but yes, I agree ;they should stop.
Connor Hernandez
the bulk-ass modular toolbar system really wasn't that great, the only reason Jow Forums loves it so much now is because it fits with their victimhood roleplaying and anti-microsoft/anti-normie narratives, plus a fuckton of people here have little duck syndrome to the extreme

then why is libreoffice adding it?
wpsoffice and softmaker also. let's face it, ribbon is the new standard
Chase Barnes
I tried to to use 2016 but actually it feels less efficient to do stuff than the libreoffice with it's 10 steps to add page numbers and 30 to skip title page. It feels horribly dumbed down if you want to do a specific thing. Also ribbon kept hiding itself, this is annoying if you want to change formatting often (I know about keyshortcuts but that's not the point because these work in every editor).

I thought LO let you turn it off if you don't want it

I also use 07, but only because it was the first I'd ever used, not because I concluded it was necessarily the best. I have no context of what any other would provide.

They do

Because the transition period might be shit AF if you went from ribbon to non-ribbon.
I teach elementary IT and Word07 and 10 are similar, but different enough to make my job terrible.

the ribbon is just a tabbed toolbar, allowing you to fit every function that used to be buried underneath 10 dropdowns and modal dialogs in a single, one layer deep interface. in addition to that, it's also logically organized, unlike the pretty much random placement of options in dropdowns.
you'd have to be an idiot to want to go back. and it's amazing to me that it took 10 years for these FOSS niggers to catch up.
nobody can compete with microsoft when it comes to innovation. the future is made in redmond.

>hurr durr vista was bad even though it featured everything that is in modern windows and still is unmatched by competition
Adam Jackson
Because people are indoctrinated in school to use Microsoft Office and it might help the transition.
It is a better system if you work from the premise that you have no idea how to do things in the application and hovering over icons is a acceptable way to discover features.
The weird part of using it is it still worked the same way, so old hotkeys still worked even though there was no reason for them to remain the same.

As long as normies and business keep throwing their money away Microsoft will continue to meme it.

How fucking shit has Microsoft become that Office is now their cash cow and Windows is fucked
Colton Myers
But it changed how you view applications.
1. The ribbon takes up a lot of space compared to the other method.
2. The organization of the functions mainly matter for people who are seeking the functions.
3. The old system was intended to be logical rather than convenient.
The menu system was meant to be a documentation of what features there are, not as the main way to interact with them.
For most people, remembering the hotkeys was never a problem.
It solved a problem that only existed for the weakest of our society and that is why it is despised.

where did he mention vista?

1) you can always hide ribbon
2) ribbon make it super easy to find functions you need, so it makes much easier for people who are new to a program to start using it
3) ribbon is logical, unless you are an idiot who have his own "right logic" and everything else is not logicall.
so we have:
- Ribbon helps people who are new to program, start using it much faster
- Orginised and logicall structure.
- You can stop using it any time by just hiding it, and use hotkeys instead (like a big brain boy)

>3. The old system was intended to be logical rather than convenient.
then why were functions not organized logically? have you literally never seen a toolbar before? you need to get off of the command line grandpa.

Bloated as fuck but it sets standards wether you like it or not.
I personally use libreOffice because I don't pirate shit when it's unnecessary. Also LO is portable and takes like 450MB of space while Office eats 3~6GB. Sadly LO deals poorly with office files. It's not goat but it's free.
this guy's right. There's nothing wrong with OPTIONAL ribbon. Ribbon boosts up productivity.
Thanks, I didn't know that. Just turned it on in my LO.
